[edit reason] Changed keyword to "adult" [/edit]
Could you imagine the stain on their reputation?
I had at this time not enough money and clients to refuse.
20 pages German, 20 pages English, 15 thousand visitors a month 1999 by search engines.
The client went bancrupt, because the credit card system delivered by an other company did not function with MSIE. 80% of the visitors used MSIE.
2003, it happened to me, that somebody wanted to make an adult site. Based on my experiences from 1999, I told him we will make with 100 pages 30 thousand visitors a month.
But the record was just a little bit above 4 thousand and now after 2 years, the site is down to 1 thousand.
Now as I have enough money, the next one asking me for an adult site will hear, that it's absolut a waste of money to do it.
Makes no sense. I would love to smack up AdSense on my TGP site, but I don't dare to because I don't wanna get banned.
Any ALTERNATIVES?! :¦

[edit reason] No adult keywords, please ;) [/edit]
IMO the reason they don't allow them in AdSense is simply that they don't want to be in the position of sponsoring such sites. A publicly listed corporation has to be careful who it keeps company with.
They quite happily list adult sites in their free listings, so I don't see accepting advertising from such sites as surprising or hypocritical.
Is it just me, or does this not make any sense?
Avnads ( part of adbrite )
Clickzor
First one is about 4 cents per clik in adult and 8
in Gambling.
Second one not clear yet.
Searching Google and the AdSense content network are two totally different things.
When you search Google the keyword matching for a small search term is a little more specific and ad targetting is pretty spot on.
However, the random collections of words on an AdSense page could potentially trigger anything so AdSense is supposedly "family friendly" for the most part theoretically to protect the publishers from having off color ads on their site and the advertiser from showing up in inappropriate places.
Things do slip thru the cracks as one premium publisher I know was getting adult oriented ads that had to be disabled.

Yeah. I get that. That's why I think that you should be permitted to publish the ads on any site, but that not just any ad should be accepted.
Um, just you? What part of this doesn't make sense: Google list adult sites because that's part of their mandate as a search engine; that's a long long way from sponsoring them, in effect paying them to exist.
Hrm... They shouldn't censor sites if they are searchable in the first place. I understand not letting any ads in, of course, like I stated above, but not being able to show them anywhere? Hrm... As long as it's not illegal, that's just stupid. IMO.

They aren't "censoring sites." They just choose not to accept certain types of ads. That's their privilege.
Most media have advertising standards. When I was an editor at PLAYBOY years ago, the magazine wouldn't run ads for condoms or deodorants. Many newspapers in the U.S. won't take ads for NC-17 movies even though they might review such films. The NATIONAL REVIEW probably wouldn't run ads for MoveOn.org, and MoveOn.org probably wouldn't run a "Karl Rove for President" ad. The decision about what kinds of ads to accept is a business decision and, in some cases, a personal decision. Google has the freedom to reject ads that it doesn't like, just as you and I do.
Grrrrrrrrreat.
Everybody knows that sex sells and does so well on the internet. Can you imagine the improvement to Google's EBIT if they started running adult related ads through the publishing network?
I have a few fillies in the stable that are for adults only. If I could put my Adsense code on some of those pages I would be sitting on the beach for the rest of my life ;)
Editor at Playboy, nice one EFV! :)
KimmoA - if you are wanting to monetize adult sites, there are alternative adult webmaster forums you can get this kind of information from. AdSense is not going to allow their ads to go on adult sites, no matter how much you complain ;)
